Abstract
ON December 12 last the republic and city of Berne celebrated the centenary of the death of one who is universally recognised as their greatest citizen. The important part played in science by Albert von Haller last century is a sufficient excuse for us, profiting by the occasion of the recent celebration, to enable our readers to appreciate the marvellous aptitude of this eminent man for every kind of work, theoretical and practical; he was at once a statesman, theologian, and poet, as well as a physiologist, anatomist, and botanist.
